We are a wide body with no intent of going over the hump. The bridge works fine for traversing from what we have seen. Good to know from you that the white wheels are borderline. We are considering going with dual omni wheels on the front. Any suggestions? Plus our next competition is week 3 so we need to act fast....  |
If you are using only one CIM motor per side, then you won't have enough torque to turn. If you can spare two more CIM's for youre drive train, then do it. This will fix your problem. If you don't have the motor allowance for two CIM motors (IE, they are being used in your shooting mechanisim), then switch them out with RS775s in CIMulator gearboxes, and use the CIMs for your drivetrain.
Good luck at competition guys.
